Ceramic Geometric Planter Succulent : amzn.to/2S6RShu The wall shelves are made out of cherry and finished with 3 coats of a wipe on poly. The bottom shelf is 20" long, the vertical board is 9 1/2" long and the top board is 8 1/2" long. All three parts are 5 3/4" wide. I routed a 3/8" wide, 1/4" deep groove on the center of the boards for an battery powered LED strip. The joinery method for the shelves are reinforced miters.

Love this, so simple yet so elegant and modern.

[@nathanpuscus479]

Great design! Love the way Cherry ages.

[@Simplecove]

Thanks Nathan, I agree. I love working with it!

[@Thom4123]

Awesome design. The Cherry looks great and like you said it’s going to age and look incredible. Take Care

[@Simplecove]

Thanks, Thom!

[@xoloitsquintli]

Great looking shelves! I'm planning on building something for my turntable and records and it'll probably end up looking fairly similar to this.

[@ramonocasio9573]

This is may first time watching your video. Great job love the way they came out.

[@KSFWG]

The shelves look really great, Sean!

[@Simplecove]

Thank you!

[@tomlagatol4448]

Good looking shelves Sean. The battery LEDs is a cool (and quick) idea. Good Vid!

[@Simplecove]

Thanks Tom!

[@feefeeturner6005]

[@Simplecove]

Thanks Tracy!

[@SPUDMACKER]

Thanks Sean! Another great video and a beautiful project!

[@Simplecove]

Thanks Kevin!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Really like the style with motets. The mitered and snipped ends are my favorite part. It makes all the 45s bring it together for a modern design. Without the ends having a 45 the miters would be classic.

[@christinecahill2874]

Nice job, very clean and simple. Cute kid you have there. Thanks for the video & see you on the next one sean ☺

[@Simplecove]

Thank you! My nephew was excited to be in the video lol.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great work on the floating shelves Sean! i see you got a little helper' Thanks for sharing.👍😎JP

[@Simplecove]

Thanks JP! Yeah my nephew keeps asking to be in a video now that he knows I make KZbin videos haha.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

You're very welcome Sean! 😎

[@MrCatim]

Awesome

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Nice shelving, i really liked the design and the LEDs really highlight the items on display. I noticed when you were planing the boards to thickness, the table tilted downwards as the material engaged the outfeed roller. Have you fixed the problem? And if you have, what was the problem? It was around the 1:03 mark in the video. Cheers.

[@Simplecove]

I probably forgot to lock the table in place before running the boards through but I've never noticed that before. It's not caused any issues that I'm aware of but I'm definitely going to look into it. Thanks!

[@robertlagrange6388]

How do you like your Hitachi miter saw? How much space from the wall do you need with dust extraction? I'm looking for a new one to replace my radial arm saw but my space is limited in my small shop. Thanks

[@brianunruh5669]

Very cool design and excellent execution. Wonder how it would work to put he led lights slightly deeper and then fill the channel with resin so it’s flush. Love your channel!

[@Simplecove]

Thanks for watching Brian! I love the resin idea because the way it sits now, something could fall in the groove which isn't the best idea.

[@hawkeye10100]

You have a great looking young man in that video. Maybe a future woodworker?

[@Simplecove]

Sure hope so!

[@larndavies6954]

Love them, so does my wife. Guess what I'm now making lol

[@Simplecove]

Haha, awesome! Luckily they're pretty straight forward to make. Shouldn't take too long

[@larndavies6954]

SimpleCove no shouldn't take to long, just love the design.

[@dpmakestuff]

Great work as always. Don't think I wasn't eyeing up that rubber mallet... you need me to fix that thing up for you just let me know! #stammerlife

[@Simplecove]

It crossed my mind that very moment I picked it up and hit the boards... Thanks man!

[@coastalcakesbyregina9149]

Where did you getthe brackets

[@Simplecove]

Check the video description.

[@stevecollins9450]

Very nice, Shawn. I noticed that you use a wide tape for the glue squeeze out. Do you find that this works better for than the narrower tape?

[@Simplecove]

I used the wider tape because it's what I have on hand at the moment. Narrower tape would work just as well.

[@ms22401gal]

What powers the LED and where did you place it? Thanks!

[@Simplecove]

I cover this in the video.

[@tooljunkie555]

Cool shelf sean. I have that same ane finder and it's always off by 2 degrees.ik this cuz after setting a 45 angle ade doesnt line up with a speed square .guess I got a bogus one..I just

[@Simplecove]

Thanks Joe! That sucks about your angle finder. I've found that mine is really close to perfect, but I always double check it to make sure.

[@clymnt]

Go to the manufactures website and get the calibration procedure almost all these devices have one.

[@AJ-ds5gf]

I'd add a frosted cover to those LEDs to give the shelf a more sleek and professional look.

[@Simplecove]

What kind of frosted cover would you use?

[@AJ-ds5gf]

@@Simplecove I'd consider two options given that it'll be a retrofit for you. (1) an aluminium LED channel/profile with a frosted cover that can be fit into the LED chase you've made, which you may need to reroute bigger to accommodate it. (2) buy a frosted acrylic sheet, cut it to fit over the LED chase and also recessed flush with the wood. If you can't get frosted acrylic, get clear and spray it with a 'frosted glass' spray can.

[@zilch7116]

You could even take the battery box and hide it underneath or make a router cutout underneath

[@ronnakeil3313]

Nice

[@MoscaWoodworking]

nice shelf! it's intersting to see how same spieces of woods are different across the world.. in Italy our cherry is more reddish than yours..

[@Simplecove]

Yeah that is very interesting. Give American cherry a few years and it will darken quite a bit.

[@incyphe]

haha what a cute kid!

[@Simplecove]

Thanks!
